Plugin Problem

I decided to finally click the register button for my Daz program and ended up having my plugins disabled. I tried to add the serial numbers from my account page but not all the serial numbers are there. These plugins won't work unless they are registered but no options to do so. Anyone know what could have happened and how I can fix this? Images below show what plugins are not working, and I should have most of them working. I do own LIE and Dynamic Clothing Control but don't have the right codes for DCC and no way to fix that so it's operating at basic. Oh and I have Daz 4.5.1.56
Forgot to mention, I restarted Daz and then finally restarted the computer as that sometimes works with some programs.

Most of them should be registered by simply registering DazStudio and using the DS4.6 Pro serial:

Look for DAZ Studio 4.6 Pro serial (I have other DazStudio serials too, like DAZ Studio 4.5.1.56 Advanced Upgrade - which would not unlock those Pro plugins).
The serial for LIE is under Multi-Layered Image Editor
and for the Dynamic Clothing Control use the serial for Dynamic Control Studio3.X - it works for DS4 too.
Are you certain you used the correct DS4 serial. If you downloaded the standard version that was given away free when DS4 was first released you will have a serial for that. Plugins like autofit were not included in the standard version.
If you purchased DS4 Pro or the upgrade for DS3A to 4Pro, you will have a separate serial for Decimator. If you downloaded the free version of DS4 Pro, you will not.
Animate2, Deciamtor, and the Cloth Control plugin are listed but require you to purchase a separate license.
My version of Daz is 4.5.1.56 and how is it possible for the 4.6 serial to work in that, I thought the serials were version specific. You will note from the image below that I have 4.6 twice and what you can't see is two different serials for each. Also my Dynamic Control shows only one when I have downloaded it more then once and it always shows the same serial, unlike the Daz program which gives a different serial every time I download it. I can't download any of these anymore unless I buy a new computer due to the fact Daz forces everyone to use the latest versions and downloads. My computer can not handle 4.6, so I have to find a way to get these plugins turned back on without a new download.
I've tried using the serial for DCC x3 and after restarting Daz none of my Dynamic stuff was showing up, including the plugin, so I am stuck using the basic Dynamics. I don't understand why those plugins would not be unlocked in my version when I was using them until I decided on the stupid move to register the program.
Go into the preferences. Somewhere in the prefs there is the ability to reset to factory default. Sorry I don't know off the top of my head which tab it's under and I don't have DS on my workstation here in-house.
Anyway, resetting to factory default will get rid of any serials. Yes, it will probably screw up other things but it's the only way I know of to clear out serials.
After you click reset to factory defaults, close DS. Give it a minute or two and relaunch it. You should get a box about serials and plugins.
Make sure you input the DS4.x Pro serial. Go to help, about plugins. You should have green plugs for all but Animate 2, Cloth Control and Decimate.
Use the DS3 serial for the Cloth Control plugin. If you have a serial for animate and decimator, input those. If your version of Pro is the paid for version (full or upgrade), you serial will show up on your serial code page as either DAZ Studio 4 Pro or DAZ Studio 4 Pro upgrade. If it's a paid for version, you don't need a separate Deciamtor serial.
I hope this helps fix the problem.
I took another look at your original screen shots. From the look of the fact that the CCT's and other plugins that were originally part of the for pay Pro version, I think the serial you used was the one for DS4 Standard.
I don't know why I would get a standard instead of pro serial. When Daz made the 3 program free for about a year, that is when I first downloaded Daz 4.0 Pro. Later I upgraded to the 4.5.1.56 as that fixed a number of bugs. At that time, the pro version is what was available for free and the one I downloaded. Since 4.6 came out, the 4.5 serials disappeared from my account. I tried re-downloading the 4.5 and no new serial would show up. When I look in my account now, the 4.0 pro version is gone, the 4.5.1.56 does not say pro and I know I downloaded the pro version of 4.5. The only pro version showing up in my account now is 4.6 which refuses to install on my computer. I can't do updates as it will automatically only offer 4.6 I have been downloading and using Daz since version 1.7 and most of the versions I had are now gone from my account. One of the things I liked about Daz was the fact that once something was in your account, it was there permanently, this has turned out to be a lie and why I said Daz forces people to use only the latest products.
Hitting restore defaults didn't do anything. I checked the plugins and it's the same as the image above. My DCC still shows Dynamics as basic and offers no way to imput a serial. Apparently the Shade Baker, Builder and Mixer are not part of the program and I thought they were? Also there is no Pro version serial showing up in my account except for 4.6
On my serials page, it's showing a DS 4.5.1.56 serial as 'retired'...
Yes I have it listed several times in fact, each with a different serial number. Even so, you can still download it and use it and use the serial codes in your account. Problem is none of the serials are working now which basically leaves you high and dry for plugins.
